About
It has now become the brewery's main brand and supports the business of Yamamoto Brewery. When the brand was first launched, the concept was for Yamamoto to personally oversee the entire process, from rice polishing through pressing. As production volume has grown year by year, however, Yamamoto now acts as the commander, while staff take charge of each stage of production. If every Yamamoto across the country were to buy it in earnest, it would sell out in a single day, but reality is not so sweet...
